PM hails Tripura CM's father for BJP since Jana Sangh days
For his contributions to BJP since the time of Jana Sangh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday recognized the contributions of an eminent BJP leader of Tripura of yesteryears - Hirudhan Deb.
Hirudhan Deb of Jamjuri of Udaipur also happened to be the father of incumbent Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb.
The senior Deb had to face several adverse situations during the Congress and later long regime of the Left Front in Tripura. However, Hirudhan Deb remained committed to his political ideology and kept on fighting for the rights of BJP Karyakartas in Tripura at the time when the party was in crisis.
Hirudhan Deb was a State Executive Member of the BJP since Jana Sangha days from 1967 to 2014.
The Prime Minister in a tweet wrote, “Sh. Hirudhan Deb championed the rights of BJP Karyakartas in Tripura who were being harassed since 1993. BJP-aligned farmers were denied irrigation schemes. As a true BJP man, he led the dissent movement against such oppressions.”
Biplab Kumar Deb extended his gratitude to the Prime Minister for honouring the contributions of his father.
“Much gratitude to Hon. PM Shri @narendramodi Ji for honouring the selfless works of the BJP & Jan Sangh karyakartas. It is a matter of immense pride for me that the selfless service of my father, late Hirudhan Deb Ji has gotten a place in #KamalPushp Saga,” Deb tweeted.
His other tweet read, “My father fought for the rights of BJP Karyakartas of Tripura who were being harassed since 1993. He stood against the oppression of the ruling govt of that time & is my inspiration to devote my life to the service of the people of #Tripura.
In a separate tweet, Deb wrote, “I believe, It is only possible in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) organisation & under the visionary leadership of Adarniya Shri Narendra Modi Ji that the son of an ordinary BJP karyakarta is serving the people of Tripura as a Chief Minister today. Always grateful for this responsibility.”
